Wow! This was my era... I know many men, some of them classmates, who served in Vietnam, some came home with severe PTSD. I do not know any women, in fact, it had never occurred to me whether or not women had served there. I well remember the lack of recognition as the people came home and all the anti-war demonstrations.

Kristin has written an eye-opening masterpiece!

The nurses who worked in Vietnam during the Vietnam War were absolutely amazing. They were never given much credit or acknowledged for what they did. When they tried to get help for PTSD, they were dismissed and told that "no women were in Vietnam" and maybe their issues were because they were having their period.
The lack of open and accurate knowledge about this war and everything involved with it were horrible. So many folks died and were injured because Johnson did not want to have losing a US war on his record. We are still paying for the whole deception issue 50 years later.
Hopefully this book will draw well deserved attention to our USA combat nurses. They are honored in other countries around the world.
